Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020 Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...

Biopolymers, 1977 AbstractThe thermoelastic behavior of water solvated elastin has been investigated in simple tension, in the temperature range 0–70°C. Specimens purified from both the ox ligamentum nuchae and pig thoracic aorta have been studied. Force data obtained by cycling the temperature for various constant specimen lengths display a separated variable ...
